I am not a huge fan of tours, but they can be extremely convenient for seeing otherwise inaccessible places. This one was perfect! The Aran Islands were one of the most beautiful and impressive places I have ever been, and I feel so lucky to have taken this tour. Michael is the best guide ever, with tons of information, an...

I've been to 3 tours in Ireland, and this one is higly the best one... As I am not an English native speaker, it was very easy to understand what the guide was saying, it was very clear. As he is an inhabitant of the island, he knows perfectly each parts of the island. The guide was really competent, professional... More

Michael Faherty puts together a great day on Inish More, starting at 9:30 at the New Galway Bus Station and ending back there around 6:30. All included (except Admission to Dun Angus fortress) -- best feature is Michael's native-son perpective. Second best feature, the small group size. It's a value at 40 euros. Michael is low key, knowledgeable and comes... More

Had an amazing day with Michael on Inis Mor. His personal knowledge and pleasant demeanor made for a great tour. Especially liked that we had time at each stop to really enjoy the location - we weren't herded off and on the bus in order to race to the next place. When planning a trip to Galway, definitely set aside... More

If you do not have time enough to stay overnight on Inis Mor than pick Michael's tour and you won't be disappointed. Every single step of the journey is well organized so that you don't have to worry about times but just sit back, relax and enjoy the wonderful places you'll visit. Michael will drive you along the picturesque Connemara... More

This was truly one of the best group tours I have been on. The views were breathtaking. From the Aran cliffs to the seals at the seal colony. This is a must if you are traveling to Galway. Michael gave an great tour with true local insight. My wife and I have amazing photos and stories to bring back to... More

Michael was very considerate and very informative answering all and any questions our bus load had. This was an amazing day spent at a breath taking place. After a lot... More

We met Michael at the bus station in Galway. From the time we got on his bus until the time we left him back in Galway, we felt like we had known him for a long time. You can tell that he really loves his job. The day that we went was cold, and it rained the entire time. That... More

I am not the kind of person who likes to have a guide. I like exploring places on my own and having time to enjoy them without someone telling me that its time to leave. But this time was different. I was so tired that I decided to travel across Inish Mor by bus. And I was lucky. Michael Faherty... More
